Typically, all serviced camshafts are re-ground. With this project re-grinding was eliminated from the re-qualification process. Eliminating the grind will be done by implementing a detailed inspection and measurement system. It is expected that 95 percent of cams will not be required to be ground. Additionally, the life of a camshaft section will be extended […]
Blade tips in Diesel engine turbo chargers can become worn over time from operation. Once the turbine blade tip is ground below the secondary “undersize” limit, it cannot be returned to service, thus leading to premature fallout from it’s capable life. A repair procedure frequently performed on various aviation and land based turbines can restore […]
Formerly, turbo nozzle rings (nozzle ring) with excessive cracks and excessive foreign object damage (FOD) were commonly scrapped or repaired with an expensive ADH braze process and/or TIG welded. The nozzle ring’s construction from nickel based alloys made conventional repair methods difficult and financially unfeasible from a cost of quality benefit. An internally developed repair […]
